I thought about this but since rosegarden doesn't appear to offer configurable shortcuts or toolbars (which is kind of the whole point of using kxmlgui BTW...), nothing should create a file in ~/.local/share/rosegarden/rc. > The problem actually wasn't ~/.local/share/rosegarden/rc (that directory > didn't exist), but rather /usr/share/rosegarden/rc from my distro's > 17.12 installed package.

Excluding /usr/share from XDG_DATA_DIRS is generally not a good idea, because e.g. mimetype definitions are only found there, so the app would be missing them (e.g. for the file dialog). However you can just set XDG_DATA_DIRS to YOUPREFIX/share:/usr/share and all will be fine. It's the recommended way to hack on KDE apps installed into a different prefix. The rc files installed into your install prefix will have precedence over those installed in /usr. > Wait ... got it!

Good find, but setting an env var is much simpler, it'll keep your "git diff" clean :) -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-devel mailing list Rosegarden-devel@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel
